I am all about the best practice of symfony 2 and I would like to integrate a php library into the project. Library is a non bundle, a simple php class with some methods.
My question just follows the following, which DOES NOT have an accepted answer. Anyway from what I read here I decided to autoload the class, but have no idea where should I locate the php file.
Maybe src/MyBundle/DependencyInjection/? I really doubt it since library has no dependency of other services I have.
Should I create a directory like src/MyBundle/Services/ or src/MyBundle/Libraries/?
What is the best practice here?
as mentioned by b.enoit.be create a service from the class.
MyBundle/Service/MyServiceClass.php
<?php
namespace MyBundle\Service;
class MyService
{
...
}
app/config/services.yml
services:
app.my_service:
class: MyBundle\Service\MyService
use it e.g. in a controller
MyBundle/Controller/DefaultController.php
<?php
namespace MyBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction(Request $request)
{
...
// get the service from the container
$yourService = $this->get('app.my_service');
...
}
}
?>
